British Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter aircraft from RAF Lossiemouth intercept two Russian Long Range Blackjack bombers and escort them whilst in the United Kingdom area of interest.

The Russian Blackjack bombers were flying over the North Sea and failed to communicate with air traffic control, making them a threat to other planes, the MoD said in a statement.

Officials said the bombers passed through a United Kingdom "area of interest" over the North Sea but were escorted away from the area by RAF fighters.

Images from airspace monitoring service Air Live showed the tanker circled over the North Sea before heading back towards RAF Brize Norton.

The Ministry of Defence said the jets were monitored by the RAF and Nato partners as they passed through global airspace before they were intercepted by the RAF over the North Sea. The Russian aircraft allegedly only flew through some sort of "UK's area of interest" in the worldwide skies, according to the statement, and were allegedly "not talking to air traffic agencies", which prompted the so-called "intercept".

But the Ministry of Defence said they did not enter United Kingdom airspace.

"At no time did the Russian bombers enter United Kingdom sovereign airspace".

"We will not hesitate to continually defend our skies from acts of aggression".
